Downsizing

Less space, the right things.

Moving to a smaller home, a condo or a retirement residence means deciding what comes with you. We help you sort, place your furniture to fit the new floor plan, and take care of what stays behind through donation, disposal or storage.

What’s included

Help with the move, and with what stays behind.

Sorting plan We go room by room with you and mark each item to move, store, donate or remove.
Floor-plan placement Send us the new floor plan and we place furniture where it fits, before the boxes come in.
Donation & disposal Items you no longer need are taken for donation, recycled or disposed of responsibly.
Storage for keepsakes Not ready to part with something? Keep it in climate-controlled, monitored storage.
Patient crews Vetted, background-checked crews who take the time to explain and check with you as they go.
Packing help Add packing for the whole home or just the kitchen, china and keepsakes.
How it works

Downsizing in three steps.

01 Walk-through & sorting We walk your home with you, in person or by video, and agree what goes to the new place.
02 Plan the new space Using the floor plan of your new home, we decide where each piece will go and what will not fit.
03 Move & clear out The crew moves and places your furniture, then takes the extras to donation, disposal or storage.
Pricing

What sets the cost of a downsizing move.

Downsizing moves are quoted after a walk-through, because every home is different. These shape the quote:

See all starting prices →
How much is moving The furniture and boxes going to the new home set the crew size and truck time.
How much is staying behind Items for donation, disposal or junk removal add loading and drop-off time.
Packing and sorting help Packing a full home, or sorting with you room by room, adds crew hours.
Storage Items kept in storage are priced by the space they take up.
FAQ

Downsizing questions.

Still unsure? Call [PHONE NUMBER] — a human picks up.

Can you help me decide what to keep?

Yes. We go through each room with you and compare items against the size of your new home. You make the final call on everything.

What happens to the things I don’t take?

We can take items for donation, recycle them, remove them as junk, or put them into storage. You choose for each item.

Can you set up my new place before I arrive?

Yes. Send us the floor plan and we’ll place the furniture and boxes in the right rooms so the space is ready to live in.

Can a family member help plan the move?

Yes. You can name a family member or friend to plan the move with your coordinator and to be there on moving day.
